Jason M. Hartman, DMD, MS

All it takes is a glance at Dr. Jason Hartman’s fun and inviting website to know you’ve found an orthodontist who loves kids, his work and the Lehigh Valley community. Dr. Hartman’s ever-growing Spark Orthodontics practice, with offices in Reading, Bethlehem, Schuylkill Haven and Schnecksville, is all about providing exceptional orthodontic care to every patient.

A Berks County native, Dr. Hartman graduated from Muhlenberg High School and Muhlenberg College. His interest in medicine drew him to Johnson & Johnson, where he worked as a chemist. While shadowing physicians and dentists in their daily routines, Dr. Hartman realized that orthodontics was the career he was looking for.

He received his DMD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, completed a one-year general dentistry residency at Lehigh Valley Hospital and spent three years in the nationally-renowned orthodontics program at Columbia University. Dr. Hartman is the only dual-Ivy League trained, Board Certified orthodontist in the region. Returning to Pennsylvania, he set out to design a state-of-the-art orthodontics practice that would provide a safe, comfortable and fun environment for young patients. Bright colors, video game units, televisions everywhere and all the most high-tech gadgetry in dentistry are just a few of the things that make Spark the region’spremier orthodontic practice.

Dr. Hartman loves working with children of all ages. “I love their fresh and funny perspective on things, it keeps my workday interestingand unpredictable,” he says.

It makes sense that Dr. Hartman’s love for little ones extends to his home life. He and his wife, Kirby, have four sons—three-year-old twins, a two-year-old and a one-year-old. And despite the sea of diapers, Dr. Hartmanis loving life.

“I wouldn’t change a thing,” he says. “I feel so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful family, an incredible Spark team and such amazing patients.”
